Hi Welcome

We have not been cruising before, but have booked to go on the Island Escape with Island Cruises very soon (3weeks).
When we was looking we scoured every single ship I think exists and found this site very helpful indeed!

Have you looked at Ocean Village? They do an Olives & Ouzo cruise and another one called something and Medinas?

We where very tempted to book this ship but it was an extra £100 each and we thought with there being 4 of us to pay for that cash was better spent on trips etc, also the ship we booked is all inclusive which helps as we do like a drink! (Dread to think how much the bar bill would be!!)

If I was you I would state the type of Cruise you would like e.g Formal or Informal.

I have 2 teenagers who pay full priced adult tariff now so I have to shop around, but when I go on my next one without them as my son will be 19 next year I will be booking with Princess Cruises as they look fantastic.

Good luck Liz.

We were looking for a Greek cruise for September but found it quite difficult so we're going to Kos instead!

Ocean Village had quite restricted availablility on hotels and also flights from Glasgow. We wanted to do a cruise and stay, and it was working out around £2600 for 2 adults, which I thought was pricey.

Spleandour of the Seas sails from Venice and down that coast which might be of interest. We saw it for 1 sept for £500 but you have to get your own flights.

Thompsons ship emerald does the greek islands...
